Welcome back to my blog about women in Network Marketing and why I think it is a winning combination. In the last blog I mentioned that there were 3 different types of support. My last blog covered Emotional Support, mostly derived from a spouse or significant other, sort of like a built in, on going support system. In this next blog I want to cover what I refer to as Strategic Support. This is support that you plan out and schedule it to be in place, preferably prior to building your Network Marketing Business.
As women I feel that we are naturally very strategic in our daily lives already. We need to plan, schedule and be strategic with all the activities that we will accomplish on a daily basis . Whether it be with children, friends, household duties, parents and now a business that you will build from home, added to the list. Now that we have decided to join the forces and be a women in Network Marketing, the time we have needs to be spent efficiently. I strongly advise that you tap into this skill of being strategic with your time and with those who may be able to offer you support along the way as you build your network marketing business.
In the beginning it may be difficult to delegate or let go of doing everything yourself , but as I mentioned earlier networking is absolutely a team sport , it is ok to leverage the talents of those on your team, we can accomplish more when we utilize our resources and accept the support.
Women in Network Marketing need to be strategic
When I refer to Strategic Support I mean, trading time for talents. You may not have a built in support system like we discussed earlier so you need to be strategic and capitalize on the talents and time of others within your organization. Remember the power of working with like minded people, you are surrounded by women who appreciate your efforts and are willing to support you along the way to reach your goals.
For example if you have children at home, but you have an appointment and are in need of daycare, then you need to be strategic with the other moms within your organization who may have children at home. Doesn’t it make sense to ask if they would be able to care for your children while you attend your appointment. At the same time she could leverage your talent because she may have someone who you would be able to bring along to the appointment with you. Therefore you are optimizing each other’s time. You need to appreciate how much more efficient you will become with your time and as a women in network marketing your time must be spent on income producing activities.
Strategic Support becomes a savings as well ,you can imagine the dollars saved when other women pool together their resources. The money that you can save when there are no daycare expenses is huge Also the benefit of being able to help each other within your team is the best use of your time One of my favorite things about being a women in networking is that it is all about paying it forward I have been able to mentor so many women to success by helping and supporting others. It is a profession that allows us all to become the best we can be!! That’s why I fully endorse the network marketing concept that allows a woman who decides to put her efforts into building a business from home to reach goals she never would have had the opportunity to.
As one of the women in network marketing, who’s is your mentor?
My next blog will be about Mentor Ship and the important part it plays as we build our network marketing businesses. Join me next time as I share with you more of my reasons for why I believe women in networking is a winning combination. Until then enjoy your time and the journey!
